I keep dreaming of my dead stepfather

[campbell612]

I am so stressed. I keep having dreams about my dead stepdad. My stepdad raised me since I was six so he's always been my dad. Recently and I'd say within the last two weeks I've been dreaming about him almost every other night. The situation is always different but most of the time he is totally different than he was in life.

The kicker is I'm trying to get pregnant and I underwent insemination last week and I don't know if this is a direct correlation. I am not at all worried about being pregnant because I have tried for eight years to get pregnant so this would be a welcome addition to our family. My dad always wanted my husband and I to have children it just never happened. Right before my dad died he and I were in my car and were talking about me having kids and he said to me that when I became pregnant he would throw me a big party.

I don't know what to think. Anyone who could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I think your dream may be nothing more than a situation of association like the connection you mentioned in your post. It would seem that your stepfather and yourself enjoyed each other's company and that you would obviously have liked him to be around should a child arise and, of course, this is not about to happen. While you are currently conscious of the possiblilty of a pregnancy you will possibly be thinking about it most days and as the consequence your subconscious mind populates your dreams with the other person in your life who would liked to have shared the occasion with you, your stepfather. From this distance it sounds a pleasurable thing to be doing. I hope the event is successful.
